Facet Joint Injection Video

Facet joint injections help confirm that the joint is the actual source of pain. A doctor injects a numbing medicine either directly into the facet joint or into the small nerve branches that lead to the joint. If pain is temporarily relieved while the facet joints are numb, it means those joints are likely to be the source of pain.
